20-Feb-2008 12:11 GMT: Software Management for Non-Geeks 2 (Or, Why Package Management sucks a bit less in openSUSE 10.3)
Many thanks to Ben, Bjørn and Justin who contacted me via blog, email and IRC to give some more information on package management and updating on openSUSE 10.3. Ben's post (linked above) is a really good description of the situation. Bjørn sent a screenshot (below) of the GNOME updater applet's preferences. Justin points out that the QT/KDE version of YaST "has the ability to select all packages that need an upgrade for installation". My understanding is that the package management bits of YaST-GTK are being updated and improved for 11.0 so I hope this feature gets included.
